America’s sheep producers are
described as “among the finest
and earliest conservationists in
America”, by Edward Smith,
Dagmar, Montana, chairman of
the ACE, who says sheepmen will
continue to cooperate with all
worthwhile ecological
movements because “the
livestock producer’s way of life
makes good soil and water
practices mandatory.”
The two sheep industry
organizations represent about
175,000 sheepmen who produce
two-thirds of the meat and wool
crops annually in 3,000 of the
nation’s 3,300 counties.
Smith said the Council strongly
supports good land and water
management, and added that for
sheep producers a proper respect
for their environment is their
“bank account.”
